Chapter 133 Asking the question in my heart, eight years older! ?
Aunt Ke kept putting food into Chen Yuan's bowl, and he didn't have time to eat it, so he didn't even have a chance to take the initiative to pick up some food.

All kinds of ribs, chicken legs, braised pork slices, sea fish... were piled into the bowl, and his mouth was stuffed full, plus Aunt Ke was a good cook.

A burst of eating.

Before I could have a rest, Aunt Ke went to the kitchen and brought back a small bowl of stewed sea cucumber soup, which was emitting curls of steam.

Before I could even say "Thank you, Auntie," Auntie picked up some fried crispy pork and piled it into the rice bowl that was already bulging with rice.

"Eat more of the crispy pork. I specially boiled it in the broth last night. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!"

"Good..." Chen Yuan spoke vaguely and gave a thumbs up, "Auntie, your cooking skills are so good. I used to love the food you cooked."

"Xiao Yuan has a sweet mouth. You are traveling these days. If you feel craving for something, come over anytime!"

"I know, Auntie."

Chen Yuan drank a mouthful of sea cucumber soup, which loosened his mouth which was a little stiff from chewing, and let out a breath.

aside.

Mengmeng sat quietly for a while, looking at the fish balls in the bowl and picking them up with her fork.

The chewy fish balls are firmly clamped.

Then she raised the fork and shook it vigorously twice. She seemed to find it very fun and couldn't get it off no matter what she did.

She opened her little mouth, took a small bite, smacked her lips and started shaking it again.

next second.

Because of the excessive force, the fish ball flew off the fork and hit Chen Yuan's forehead with a "bang"!
"What are you doing? Why are you wasting food?" Ke Bing frowned and immediately grabbed her hand to take the fork.

"hey-hey……"

Mengmeng didn't seem to be afraid, and was laughing with her mouth wide open.

"Okay, now that she's full, let her play and go back to the house," Aunt Ke advised.

Uncle Ke turned a blind eye to all this, helped Chen Yuan to get the toilet paper, handed it to him, and started the conversation earnestly: "Xiao Yuan, your Lan University environment should be good, right? How about the quality of the students?"

"Yes, it's a good city and a good school. Overall, the students are more motivated," Chen Yuan wiped his cheek, "There are many people studying consciously in the library and study room every day."

Aunt Ke picked up Mengmeng and carried her to the bedroom, saying, "Be good and be alone for a while." When she came back, she heard what Chen Yuan said.

"Good universities are different. The quality of students at the university that Rourou attends is not good. I've been there a few times and the female students all dress like girls entering society. They are all very mature."

"That can't be helped. Once you enter college, your parents can no longer control you, and your teachers don't care either. It's not like our high school teachers who take care of us like calves all day long, and have to go to the dormitory to wake us up."

Uncle Ke lit up a cigarette, and amid the smoke, he talked about the past.

In boarding schools in the north, when students are sent to school, the class teacher must supervise them just like their parents.

Especially the senior class.

Every year that he teaches, the head teacher seems to age ten years.

Moreover, Qishui County was a poor place before, and the county-level high school was also quite shabby. Fortunately, the school spirit was simple and honest, and several talents for famous schools were produced every year.

They chatted freely about family matters. It would be more accurate to say that Chen Yuan came to accompany Uncle Ke and Aunt Ke rather than to say that he came as a guest.

In the blink of an eye.

The meal is almost finished and the chopsticks are already on the table.

Except for Ke Bing, who was like a virtuous and gentle young wife, occasionally peeling a shrimp and putting it in Chen Yuan's bowl.

The other three were just chatting.

We talked about the past to the present, from education to the international situation, and from the situation to Chen Yuan’s plans for the future.

period.

Ke Bing, who was originally very lively outside, was surprisingly well-behaved. He didn't say much and just listened quietly.

Sometimes just a smile or a nod of agreement.

She seemed to enjoy this kind of family atmosphere. Chen Yuan's arrival undoubtedly added a sense of freshness to the family of four.

While Mr. Ke was talking.

Ke Bing curled the corners of his lips helplessly, took the initiative to go to the kitchen to get another spoon, and put it in Chen Yuan's bowl.

Chen Yuan, who was busy chatting with his elders, nodded casually and didn't care.

However, Ke's mother noticed this detail. Her eyes flickered and moved between her daughter and Chen Yuan several times.

"By the way, did Xiao Yuan come with his classmates this time?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you call your classmates to come over and have dinner together at home?"

"Ah... She's quite shy, so I simply didn't mention it."

"Oh, that."

Faced with the question, Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed and glanced at Ke Bing.

He didn't know whether Sister Rourou had told him that he had a girlfriend.

Probably not, otherwise Aunt Ke would have directly called her "girlfriend" instead of calling her classmate. She has always been a straightforward person and would not deliberately cover up for Chen Yuan.

Just like that, the sun hanging in the sky gradually moved westward and was no longer so warmly hanging high above our heads.

The after-dinner chat lasted until three in the afternoon.

at last.

Aunt Ke cursed with a smile, asking Dad Ke to stop chatting with Chen Yuan endlessly.

This family banquet has just been cancelled.

Before leaving, Ke's father went to the study mysteriously and insisted on giving Chen Yuan a book, with a red envelope inside the book.

They said that they didn’t give it to me when I was going to higher education, and now I have to make up for it.

Chen Yuan was so moved that he was speechless. He wanted to refuse, but he saw the kindness in Uncle Ke and Auntie's eyes...

"Go down and see Xiaoyuan off, Rourou."

"Okay, Mom!"

"Then I'll go too and put on a coat." Dad Ke reached out to get clothes.

"What are you doing? Wash the dishes!"

She glared at Mr. Ke and waved goodbye to her daughter and Chen Yuan.

boom--

The door was closed directly.

"Why don't you let me deliver it? Can't I wash the dishes anytime?"

Dad Ke was completely confused and had no idea why his wife suddenly behaved so abnormally.

"What do you know? Give the young people more space to get along with each other. You have no sense at all!"

Mother Ke rolled her eyes and started to clean up the dishes.

"What? I don't quite understand what you said."

……

Outside, pure white clouds floated in the sky, and the wind gently blew through the girl's hair.

Ke Bing, dressed in a white dress, walked lightly and gracefully, seeming to be enjoying the moment of walking side by side with Chen Yuan. She raised her cheeks and felt the flying hair on her temples.

Her delicate face was filled with ease, and because of her smile, the teardrop mole under the corner of her eye seemed to come alive.

The wind blew the beads of sweat on his forehead, and the atmosphere of the white moonlight became more obvious.

"The air is really good. After moving to Sanya, my most obvious feeling is that the air here is much better than that in Qishui County."

"I felt it, too. The air quality in high school was the worst at that time, and there was smog."

"Yes, it's a heavy industrial area."

The two chatted casually and walked out of the community.

"Wait here for me, I'm going to buy something." Ke Bing said this, turned around and walked into the supermarket next to him.

After a while.

She then came out with two Zhenzhi sticks, one yogurt flavor and one apple flavor.

With almost no hesitation, she handed the apple-flavored one to Chen Yuan.

"Clang!"

"It's been so many years, and you still haven't changed your habit of eating lollipops after meals?"

"You said I'm used to it..." Ke Bing mumbled, tore the package and put it in his mouth, sighing: "It's great, every time I eat a lollipop I feel like I'm back in my childhood... I still remember the store in front of Qishui No. 1 Middle School at that time, the owner always kept the yogurt flavor for me."

"Yes, you did make a scene at that time because the last one was sold to someone else by the boss. You squatted on the steps and cried. He has remembered it clearly since then."

"Speaking of such things..."

Ke Bing glared at him with a slightly red cheek.

"It was a long time ago. Were you ten years old then?"

"Yes, I was ten and you were six. We went to buy snacks in the middle of playing badminton. I was in a bad mood at the time."

"I'm eighteen now, and my nineteenth birthday is coming up. Time flies."

Chen Yuan sighed a little.

Time flies so fast.

Sometimes he would recall the years when he struggled in high school, and suddenly he would wake up and realize that he had passed that stage.

Will never repeat again.

Now he has entered a new stage, which is very different from his life then.

"Xiao Yuan, I didn't tell my parents about your girlfriend. I just told them that you brought your classmates with you."

After a moment of silence, Ke Bing suddenly said something.

"Well...if you tell Auntie, I'm afraid it won't take long for my family to know about it."

"Haha, that's how they are. They will discuss even the smallest private matters."

"really."

"Um... well, actually... how should I put it!" Ke Bing held the stick of the lollipop, biting it with his teeth and leaving small marks one after another, hesitating, "I want to ask you something."

"Just ask. Let's talk in the car. I'm so tired of standing."

There was a click.

The car door closed and Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After eating, he didn't feel like moving.

beside.

Ke Bing seemed to have mustered up his courage, and he slightly opened his lips and spoke out the words he had prepared for a long time.

"Although it's not polite to ask this, I have to say it, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to keep it in my heart... When I reminded you under the table that day, I also wanted to borrow your time to talk, Xiao Yuan... Is your girlfriend quite old?"

"Ah?" Chen Yuan was slightly stunned.

"I'm sorry...I know I'm offensive."

"It doesn't matter, she is indeed older than me."

"How big is it?"

"Um...about eight years old."

"Master Duo!??"

Ke Bing's eyes suddenly widened and he turned around abruptly, hitting the car door with his elbow due to his large movement.

But she didn't care about the pain in her arm at all.

She looked at Chen Yuan in great shock.

"Don't get excited. This is what's going on... Teacher Jiang is a professor at our school. She graduated with a master's degree two years ago. She looks about 23 or 24, but she's actually 26."

"A teacher-student relationship? Oh my god..."

Ke Bing looked up at the sky and suddenly began to doubt his life.

Eight years older, teacher-student relationship, and family background gap.

This has all the elements!
This isn't a normal relationship at all!

From any perspective, this is not a relationship that can last long because it is too special.

Why should people avoid a big age gap when choosing a spouse? Because there is a big gap in experience and values ​​between the two, and there is no common language, not to mention family and reality factors.

This seems like a love relationship with no future at all.

Talk...just for fun?

Ke Bing wanted to blurt it out, but suddenly she felt that she was meddling in other people's business and she didn't really have the qualifications to do so.

"I know what you're thinking. My relationship with Teacher Jiang is not what you think. We are very happy together... She is not hypocritical, and I am not that childish. We get along well in all aspects. We also play games and go shopping together."

"Then... then she will be thirty when you graduate from college!" Ke Bing said hurriedly.

"Thirty is pretty good."

"What's so good about that! You don't choose girls of the same age as you, and you don't choose girls from the same school, but you insist on looking for girls in this age group."

"No, I think your point of view is very narrow-minded, Sister Rourou. I feel that this thing has nothing to do with age."

Chen Yuan stated calmly that he clearly remembered how he felt when he had an online romance with Teacher Jiang, the first thrill he felt when they met in person, and the sound of his heartbeat when they hugged for the first time.

"Maybe I'm a little narrow-minded, but I really want to ask you, are you seriously considering it? Or..."

"What?" Chen Yuan suddenly found it a little funny. He said calmly, "Is there such a thing as not taking your relationship seriously?"

"This……"

Ke Bing met his gaze.

Suddenly, she didn't know how to answer.

She felt that Xiaoyuan had really changed a lot.

It seems that the current Chen Yuan is really different from the little brat he used to be... How can a boy change so much in just a few years?
